Apple is weighing using artificial intelligence technology from Anthropic or OpenAI to power a new version of Siri, instead of its own in-house models, Bloomberg News reported on Monday.

For months, Apple has been working to get its AI-enhanced Siri back on track after delaying the overhauled assistant’s launch in March. Apple later appointed Vision Pro head Mike Rockwell as the leader of AI and Siri after CEO Tim Cook “lost confidence” in the team’s former chief, John Giannandrea.

Apple (AAPL) is reportedly considering external artificial intelligence (AI) models like Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) or OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) to power Siri, according to Bloomberg reporting.
